Hi, i was hoping someone could help me with my problem. When im just about to come to a complete stop when braking my battery light will flicker. It doesnt happen everytime. I think my revs are dropping to low but the car never cuts out on me. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

Checked the alternators charging right? Stick a multimeter on the battery should be about 14v with the engine on

does sound like a bad connection somewhere.
Inspect the live to the alternator and your engine earths.
Earth by the GOOOO pedal too can be dodgy and that helps the dash stay bright!

Thanks for the replys. Iv had a proper chance to look at tge dash when braking and i got it wrong. Its the oil light and stop light flickering slightly. Usually when braking to a stop and going down to second gear. Doesnt do ut when i stop out of gear. Could it be pump? Thanks.
